Green Bell Kurohime Kogen
쿠로히메역에서 차로 5분 정도 들어갑니다. 주변이 펜션지대라 산책하기 좋습니다. 그릇등이 잘 준비되어 있지만 양념류는 없습니다. 구글지도에서 그린벨 쿠로히메를 영어로 검색하면 다른 곳으로 안내하니 반드시 일어로 검색하세요

HOTEL LA VIGNE HAKUBA by Onko Chishin
Very clean, modern hotel with excellent service from the staff. The hotel shuttle to the ski areas in Hakuba was very convenient. The hotel shuttle even picked us up when we were shopping in town and could not catch an Uber or Taxi. The service was exceptional.
